Renovated 3LDK House in Shimonoseki's Historic Nagafu District
This fully renovated detached house in Shimonoseki's Nagafu district offers a modern living space within a classic structure. The property has been comprehensively remodeled, transforming the original layout into a bright 3LDK configuration. A key feature is the expanded 16-tatami mat living room, created by connecting walls, which now features new flooring and refreshed wall and ceiling coverings. The renovation included converting a first-floor 6-tatami Japanese room into a 7.5-tatami Western-style room with solid walls. All bedrooms benefit from two-sided natural lighting.
The equipment and features have been entirely renewed. The kitchen is a new Haus Tec unit approximately 255cm wide. The unit bath, also by Haus Tec, is new and features a spacious bathtub. The entrance door has been replaced with a new single-swing door, and the genkan area has new flooring and a brand-new shoe box. All interior doors and fittings are new. Each room is equipped with a closet featuring a shelf and hanging rail, with the second-floor west-facing room boasting a full-wall closet. The washroom floor has been replaced with cushioned flooring for comfort underfoot, and the vanity features a three-sided mirror. The toilet is a new TOTO unit. A monitor-equipped intercom provides security. The water heater is new. The roof has received waterproof coating.
Critical structural work was performed to ensure safety and longevity. A seismic expert conducted a diagnosis, leading to completed seismic reinforcement work. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures. A termite prevention treatment was performed during renovation, backed by a 5-year guarantee from the construction date. A thorough inspection was done under the floor, and termite damage investigation and prevention work was completed.
The exterior has been upgraded for convenience. Parking space for three cars in parallel has been created in front of the house, and the backyard garden features an existing arbor that was cleaned with high-pressure washing. The property is situated in a quiet area with little traffic, making parking easy. Daily life is convenient with a MaxValu supermarket about 950m away and a 7-Eleven approximately 400m away.
The Nagafu area of Shimonoseki is rich in history, once serving as the castle town of the Mōri clan during the Edo period. This heritage is reflected in the well-preserved samurai residences and the historic Nagafu Tōshō-gū Shrine, a beautiful Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, located just a few kilometers from the property. The area offers a unique blend of historical atmosphere and modern residential comfort.
